What the **** is that supposed to mean?

I think a cinematic game focuses on scenes in a story (plot), so it's more about focused drama and less of a sandbox approach.

If anybody is into Frog God Games's stuff (Tome of Horrors, Swords and Wizardry Complete, Rappan Athuk, etc.) They're doing a kickstarter for their "Lost Lands" campaign source book. It's going to be spendy, but it's estimated to be 500+ pages and built for sandbox play for levels 1-20. Speaking from personal experience, all of the stuff of theirs I've purchased has been of the highest quality in terms of editing, writing, organization and creativity.

CBL: Characters-By-Level for Pathfinder RPG -- "Pathfinder compatible pre-generated NPCs that come with Hero Lab portfolios and high quality character art files." This is a monthly subscription. At $681/$13,000 with 27 days to go.

"Explore mysterious worlds hidden just outside our reality in this new RPG using the story-based Cypher System of Numenera."

"The Strange is a cosmos-sized artifact built in the afterglow of the Big Bang. The original alien builders lost control of it eons ago, but their dark energy network remains 'beneath' our universe. For those on Earth who've discovered it, everything is different. These select few know that the Strange hosts recursions: unique but limited worlds with their own laws of science and even magic, seeded into the network by the creative resonance of pure imagination, but still nonetheless very real."

It is currently succeeding quite nicely at the sum of $177,865 with 28 days to go.

Not really sure where to put this, however this is the closest place I can think of -

Flying Frog Productions (Last Night on Earth, Invasion from Outer Space, A Touch of Evil) is kickstartering a new game -

Shadows of Brimstone is a fast-paced, Cooperative, dungeon-crawl boardgame set in the Old West, and mixed with Unspeakable Horror!

Players create characters, taking on the role of a classic Western Hero Archetype, such as the Law Man, Gunslinger, or Saloon Girl. Forming an adventuring posse, the Heroes venture down into the dark mines, overrun with all manner of ancient demons and foul creatures from another world. With tactical gameplay, lots of dice, and a robust card-driven exploration system, no two games are ever the same as the Heroes explore the mines finding new enemies to fight, new Loot to collect, and new dangers to overcome. Players can even find portals to other worlds, stepping through to continue their adventures on the other side!

I've liked some of the other FFP games, and this seems like it could be the physical game equivilent of an "Icewind Dale" type dungeon adventure.

There's a lot of board games at the moment, with a few new RPG supplements in between:

Advanced Bestiary for the Pathfinder RPG -- This is an update of Green Ronin's 2005 Advanced Bestiary for the d20 system. What's an advanced bestiary, you might ask? Well apparently it's a series of monster building templates. KS succeeding at $25K.

ElfWood for Sixcess -- a fantasy setting book for RPGs based upon the Sixcess system. Their focus is on "wonky" game settings that are twisted versions of long established game tropes. Currently at $1K/3K with 35 days to go.

Atlantis: Geographica RPG Supplement -- A companion book for the Atlantis RPG. "The Geographica details the people and culture of the antediluvian world once ruled by the kingdom of Atlantis." Succeeding at $11K with 14 hours to go.

I don't believe it's been mentioned yet. Demon the Descent, the newest gameline in the World of Darkness from Onyx Path (previously known as White Wolf), currently has a Kickstarter going. It's been running for fifteen days now and is currently succeeding (successful) at $102,749 with fifteen days to go. The genre is spy intrigue with "techgnostic espionage," citing "The Matrix," "Burn Notice," "Person of Interest," "Fringe," and more as inspirations along with John Le Carré books such as "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy". From my reading of what's available, I feel confident in saying you can (eventually) be a Bond or Bourne or Bauer or a (B)amalgam. Pretty excited to play this someday

Protocol Game Series: 15 Thematic Story/Roleplaying Games -- a series of games that "uses a simple method of shared storytelling with charts, motivations, character interaction, and plot" -- succeeding at $3,670. Example: "Joan of Arc is a story roleplaying game about scientists and rescue personnel working to save a damaged space station before disruptive energy rips it apart. Starting from the planet’s surface, the team has limited time to get to the station, climb inside, and repair the damaged station. The clock is ticking as problem after problem besets the team members who have limited resources to battle the ravaged reactor core."

Crios Role-Playing Game -- "Crios is a fantasy campaign setting that mashes the fantasy genre with that of Earth's First World War." It is based on the Renaissance Deluxe setting. Currently at $910/3,000 with 21 days to go.

I like the Crios one. Although I'm not convinced by the published material. It really needs some examples. I mean I could hack together a simple fantasy in ww1 mashup using a boot full of mud, tinned beef, and a smell of burning wire.

Ultimate Werewolf Deluxe Edition -- "A re-imagining of the best-selling werewolf game: a new design, dozens of roles, a new expansion, and new art for up to 75 players." Succeeding at $15,692 with 25 days to go.

River of Heaven SF RPG -- "A science fiction role-playing game set in the 28th Century, using a modified version of the OpenQuest D100 system ." Succeeding at £1,143 with 58 days remaining.

Alterkine: Dossier d20 RPG -- "Alterkine: Dossier is a d20/Pathfinder compatible based role-playing supplement for modern and futuristic settings." At $100/$300 with 57 days to go.

Valkyn -- "Valkyn Is a Tabletop RPG set in a fantasy setting. It's designed to contain rich & deep stories as well as fast paced & fun combat." Presently at $600/$5,000 with 24 days left.
